Cosmic Entropy Darwinian Universal ep9

Darwinian Universal is a cosmology and physics theory that aims to provide a comprehensive explanation of the universe's origin and evolution, as well as the fundamental principles governing its behaviour. This theory incorporates elements of natural selection and evolution, as well as concepts from various fields of physics, such as quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The Darwinian Universal theory posits that the universe is a dynamic and evolving system, in which structures and processes emerge and change over time in a manner analogous to biological evolution. This includes the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, atoms and the emergence of life itself.

The theory also proposes that the fundamental constants and laws of physics may not be fixed and unchanging but could have evolved and fine-tuned over time through a process of natural selection. This could potentially explain the apparent fine-tuning of the universe, as well as the emergence of complex structures and phenomena.

To understand the universe's evolution and its intricate structures, we must revisit a concept born during the Industrial Revolution—entropy. Originally developed to optimize the efficiency of steam engines, engineers discovered that to make these engines more productive, they needed to reduce energy waste and maximize the amount of work extracted from fuel. This process of energy optimization led to the concept of entropy—a measure of disorder within a system—and the principle that systems naturally tend toward greater disorder unless energy is used to maintain structure and perform work.

Entropy is not just relevant to steam engines. It plays a central role in the function of all systems, from the simplest machines to the most complex living organisms. In biology, life constantly battles entropy by capturing energy from its environment—whether it be sunlight, food, or chemical reactions. This energy allows organisms to perform work, build structures, and ultimately maintain their intricate order.

In the Darwinian Universal theme, we propose that the universe behaves in much the same way. Just as life harnesses energy to combat entropy, the universe may be doing the same on a cosmic scale.

At the core of this theme is the idea of a regenerative spacetime field, denoted by A u v. This field permeates the universe, serving as a constant energy source for atoms, baryonic matter T u v, much like the Sun provides energy for life on Earth. The atoms that make up the universe are not static—they have evolved over time to capture and convert energy from the spacetime field into forces that allow them to perform work, form bonds, and build structures.

Just as cells evolved to capture sunlight and convert it into energy through photosynthesis, atoms have evolved to harness the energy of space itself. These atoms form the building blocks of matter and are crucial to the formation of larger cosmic structures—planets, stars, and galaxies. The universe's complexity may be the result of an optimization process, driven by Darwinian evolution, where atoms and cosmic structures evolve to maximize energy capture and minimize entropy.

In biological systems, the fundamental process driving Darwinian evolution is cell division—the replication of cells within a multicellular organism. Cells adapt, specialize, and evolve to perform complex functions for the benefit of the entire organism.

Similarly, we propose that atoms are replicated within a cosmological context, particularly in the high-energy environments of quasars. Quasars act as cosmic hubs where atomic replication occurs. These replicated atoms are not static—they are "selected" to evolve characteristics that serve the larger structures of the universe.

Just as cells evolve within the body of an organism to fulfill specialized roles—becoming skin cells, neurons, or muscle fibers—atoms evolve to perform diverse roles within the universe, contributing to the formation of planets, stars, and galaxies. Their evolution is driven by the same need to capture energy, optimize work, and maintain the structure of the universe—just as cells help maintain the integrity of a living organism.

In both cases, the goal is the same: reduce entropy. Living organisms require constant energy to maintain their structure, perform work, and resist the natural tendency toward disorder. The universe, too, may require a continuous input of energy from the spacetime field to sustain its cosmic structures and prevent entropy. The optimization of atoms, much like cells, is the mechanism by which this balance is maintained.

This theme also suggests that the laws and constants of physics, such as the strength of the electromagnetic force, the proton-to-electron mass ratio, or fusion sensitivity, may not be fixed. Instead, they may be the result of an ongoing cosmic optimization process, evolving over time to minimize entropy and maximize the universe’s ability to capture and utilize energy.

The Darwinian Universal theme proposes that the universe is not static. Like living organisms, it is a dynamic, evolving system. Atoms, galaxies, and even the fundamental constants of physics may be shaped by an evolutionary drive to reduce entropy, capture energy, and optimize the function of the universe as a whole.
